Experienced Front-end Developer

Does agile front-end development give you a kick? Would working with UX and UI blow your mind? And would an online customer-base of 7.000.000+ customers growing 400.000+ every month make you sky-rocket?

Then SimpleSite is where you should be working!
(… and your future colleagues @ SimpleSite would be stoked to have you join the team.)

A CMS for everyone

There are 7 billion people in the world. Hundreds of millions of them have definite needs to talk about the things that matter to them online.
But they have too limited resources in terms of competence and/or money to fulfill those needs.
SimpleSite empowers people to create web solutions themselves – to tell their own story and share what matters to them with the world.

How does the Development Team work @ SimpleSite?

We work in an agile Build – Measure – Learn process. We are highly inspired by Brian Balfour and his ideas of fast learning cycles and focus (see link at the end of this ad).

We are working with a new version of the front-end of our product. Our production stack contains Angular, Typescript, Foundation, Service Workers ... basically whatever edgy technology we like! The experience is responsive and we develop with “mobile first” in mind.

We don’t lock ourselves up in an ivory tower and generate big thoughts. We use A/B Testing – a lot of A/B testing actually – or Growth Hacking as we like to call it. With 15.000 new sign-ups every day we can measure the results of experiments really, really fast.

With our continuous rollover strategy, you will go home every day with the knowledge that your deployed updates have been exposed to thousands of users already – and they will keep pouring in from all over the world after you go home. The first couple of times these rollovers makes you feel sick to your stomach; we can guarantee that. But nothing beats the high you’ll feel when you get to see the actual difference your ideas make for our users.

What does SimpleSite expect from you?

We expect that you have more than basic knowledge of development for the Internet and that you want to improve every day. Technically, we expect that you have;

at least 2 years work experience developing modern applications for the internet

work experience using modern javascript frameworks such as Angular and React
